Pregnant After a Loss

Is anyone else here pregnant after losing a child? I'm not talking about a miscarriage (thought I don't doubt the pain involved - it's just not really entirely the same thing), but losing a child after a live birth? I lost my son Nolan when he was 6w4d old. I know I can check the Grief and Loss boards, but I was just wondering if anyone else in this board is dealing with this too.

Hi. I gave birth in may this year to my little girl she was only 16 weeks. She had anencephaly. This pregnancy I am not excited, I dont want to get excited in case it happens again. I don't want to tell people in fear. It's hard!

I lost my eight year old son Reece unexpectedly in an accident in January. We had not planned another pregnancy, but just feel like we have more love to share. We also have a five year old. I've never had a miscarriage so i don't know what that is like. I just feel like my situation is different. Most grief and loss forums are about miscarriage so it's nice to find others in my situation.

I personally have had 5 miscarriages and although it was difficult for me, watching a good friend have to deliver a full term baby knowing he had passed just days before was far worse in my opinion. She recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl and I tell you, it was a beautiful thing after years of so much pain. My heart is with you!

I lost my daughter at 7 months pregnant still born. Although never alive outside of the womb I still got attached. She had turners syndrome and the fact that it was a complication with pregnancy makes this pregnancy terrifying! People are excited but sadly I'm not I still want my daughter but we didn't wait to get pregnant again that was my fault. Her name was adianna and I miss her </3

And I don't consider miscarriage and stillbirth the same... I delivered her and held her an never got the pleasure of knowing her smile or cry... And I have her ashes. I've also had a mc an it was nothing compared to this but most people haven't had to deliver a dead child. My sister went through an early mc and it about killed her... Any loss is a loss and heart breaking

hi. I was wondering the same. I lost my baby boy at 8 weeks 5 days earlier this year to SIDS. it definitely has brought some anxiety for me during thus pregnancy. I try to stay hopeful and have faith that God knows best. He never belonged to me God loaned hum to me for a little while and he needed him back quicker than I could imagine. I'm working everyday to cope and its no easy task but I learn more day by day. if you ever need to talk let me know. maybe we could be belly buddies

I am so sorry you had to go through losing Reece. That incomprehensible to me, losing a child after 8 years. It breaks my heart that you had to. I agree with you about the Grief and Loss boards. While I'm sure a miscarriage is devastating, it just doesnt' seem the same to me. While I hate that you've lost a child too, I'm glad to have someone here on this board who has been there. How is your 5-year-old doing? That's got to be really hard, losing abrother.

To deliver a full-term baby knowing it had already passed must be unbearable. I'm so sorry your friend went through that. It sounds lke she was lucky to have you there as support, and I'm glad she now has a healthy little one. And I'm so sorry to hear about your losses as well. <hug>

You're so right in how you look at it. When I saw someone else here had dealt with SIDS I just burst into tears (stupid hormones). I hate that you went through it too, but I feel blessed to have someone to talk to who understands. What was your son's name?
